    While I haven't been able to test it at all yet, there is supposed to be a radically improved statistics engine within 2014. That could be a compelling reason to upgrade if you're on a system with issues in and around statistics.

    statistics engine?

    Yeah, statistics generation is supposedly all rearranged & updated. Again, haven't tested it, so I've got nothing specific for you.
